We have been busy gearing up for the upcoming state elections and political primaries. In order to better represent our political candidate-clients, Stacie Granum and Coree Foster attended the Campaign Academy held in Rapid City on March 13, to gain insight into current political marketing strategies. We’ve had many successes in the past with political campaigns and we want to continue to fine-tune our knowledge in this area.

Stacie's experience with political campaigns is extensive; her marketing and consulting expertise stretches from government and legal to medical and tourism. Coree has a background in Political Science and provides our candidate-clients an extra political edge in the campaign arena. On that same note, Coree Foster has been promoted to Senior Political Advisor. Coree graduated from Plymouth State University with a BA in Political Science. Coree's past experience has provided her the knowledge to ethically poll citizens for their opinions without introducing bias. She also understands the crucial speech and presentation skills that can make or break a candidate. Additionally, Coree will contiunue to hold the title of Project Manager. She is a very valuable member of our team!

New people… We are excited to welcome Jane Wolforth to our team! Jane’s post-secondary education, coupled with her professional experience, provides her the skills and knowledge needed to deliver the high standard of customer service and individual attention our clients have come to expect from RSA.

Other happenings…

Robert will travel to sunny Carmel California on May 1st for a week by the sea and to attend the Alliance of Marketing Agencies conference. Robert, along with agency owners from New York, Milwaukee, Akron, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Maine, Carmel CA, Taos NM, and Chagrin Falls OH meet every six months to discuss strategies, trends, and business operations. It is a wonderful opportunity to have a network of agencies to share ideas with. Along with day-to-day business operations, topics of discussions centered on co-branding to stretch advertising budgets, new forms of media, and of course, internet strategies.

Robert will be speaking at the South Dakota Chiropractors Association (SDCA) Spring Conference and Trade Show in Sioux Falls on April 18. We have worked with the SDCA for several years and continue to work with them to strengthen their image and educate the public about chiropractic.

Finally, Robert helped out at the Storybook Island Easter Egg Hunt on March 15th. He volunteered as the MC for the event and had a great time.
